And Portugal is out. 3-2 in the end
Only thing I miss is that nobody say Deutschland, Deutschland alles ist vorbei.
We were hoping that we could make a party (no bad feelings against germany, only looks so)

3-2. Not much to say, three stupid defensive errors, we played well but Ronaldo was missed. I don't think he actually did anything. The third goal was a bit unnecessary since Ballack pushed P. Ferreira to score his goal but that doesn't matter much. Childish loss for Portugal -.-

In my opinion, Germany played better than I expected, and Portugal played worse than I anticipated...

thx
It is just that germany as soccer country isn't very loved here cuz they won the finals a time and your coach wasn't very nice when he said that holland couldn't get trough the poule fase cuz they had a too weak defence (I mean 1 goal against us in 3 games).
Still hope we meet in the finals and that some older guys can get over there complex when we win.
hup deutschland hup till finals

I think calling them ****** took it a bit far there, what constitutes them being ******?
The fact they have a reasonably strong team? The fact that they expected it to be a one man band(C Ronaldo) when in fact he didnt do much at all to shine this tournament?

Lol. I am not even a fan of soccer, but I am following this Euro due to this topic. I don't understand some of the soccer jargons but I am enjoying this banter between soccer fans. Keep this up.
PS. Can someone please explain to a rugby fan, who is used to seeing lots of pushing in rugby, why pushing is not allowed in soccer?

Its a form of expression and performing i think?! Its a bunch of men prancing about and diving to the floor the rolling around pretending to be in agony until play is stopped where they then sit up and receive 'treatment'
This is professional soccer anyway.

Mmm. I am even more confused, but thanks anyway. I'll stick with rugby.
But keep up that banter.
